    Money isn't a factor..i've thought these bikes looked badass for years.

    I like that attitude. The Baby Zilla did look nice when it was new. Can't wait to finish mine.

    Post some pics if you buy the machine. You also might want to check with Bob Tracey's at that link I posted
    to see if there are any rear fenders left. I know they had the decals for the rear on their shelves, but not sure
    if they had anymore.

    Got tired of looking at it without plastics on it. Did the test fit of the plastics tonight. I'll have to find a better way to
    attach the fronts since I don't really want to use the Mud flaps on the quad. Though I might have to in order to keep the
    fronts from ripping off of just one attachment point.

    We pick up the custom seat tomorrow so that should make it look better. Engine.....waiting................

    The seat turned out OK. The 110ATC seat is going to Mrs Mosh for recovering once I can get it out from under my kid.

    Latest additions to the LT250s. New rear brake caliper and some Tusk G-Force extended hubs in 4/115. They share the same spline count
    as my 1982 250R so I'll be able to swap tires between the two of them.

    Thanks guys. Should be getting into the engine in the next three weeks. My brother should have his kids truck done by then
    and my YZ125 rebuild should also be done this week. From everyone that I have talked to that has had one of these the timing
    chain is probably going to need replacing so I think I'm just going to go order one this week.

    My brothers friend can't make a proper Sprocket guard for it so the hunt is on again for a guard. I have one for the disc, but the one
    for the sprocket is NLA from Suzuki.

    Still haven't finished the LT250s as I keep finding new parts, plus now that I bought the '14 TRX450R I need to ride a bit on weekends.

    I did pick up and install a new headlight, new control switch and a new toolbox which is about the size of a new mailbox.
    Engine will be done next time I am at my brothers house and then I can really get it back together.

    I see it on CL now in Sparrowbush NY. Very nice condition indeed and the plastics are intact which you do not see ever.

    probably a hell of alot less than what you have invested in yours! But thats not the point i know! seems like a good price for it, especially with the papers!
